Perfume and cologne. MAI GAD I hate it so much and it makes me sick, and they come to work drenched in it. One was wearing essential oils for a while, the fumes of which set off my asthma so badly I had to go see my respirologist for a stronger puffer, and I finally had to come out and tell her it made me sick.

Secondly, casual racism. I had one CW the other day tell me she didn't care for Indians (by which she means indigenous people), and another who told me she hoped I wasn't 'getting Jewed' out of something. I was quite horrified. I eat lunch alone for the most part and refuse to have social contact with them.
